Chapter 395
“Are you alright, Young Master?” Nan Hua asked. She was wearing black clothes, but it could also be ascertained to her current identity.
Nan Luo’s lips twitched. He was certainly not used with Nan Hua changing her identity as fast as flipping hand. “I’m fine, Nan. How’s the other side?”
“Feng Qian Kun passed out. Concubine Hai had died. The two children are temporarily safe,” Nan Hua gave her report succinctly.
Behind Nan Luo, Xiao Yan was speechless. During this short period of time, Nan Hua was done dealing with the one tasked to kill Feng Qian Kun? Wait, in the first place, why are they getting targeted?
“Let’s visit Ao Kuai.” Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.
“Yes, Young Master.”
Nan Luo had already known that they would be making their move tonight, but he didn’t expect that there would be so many people who were moving at this point of time. However, he was no longer that weak boy that could only rely on his guards and hide at the back.
He was a powerful martial artist who could protect himself by now. He knew very well that he had enough skill to do what he wanted now.
Several people appeared to stop him.
Swish! Slash!
Within but a moment, Nan Luo killed them all without any excessive movement. He killed them in the most efficient way that he had learned. He arched his eyebrows. “Are the Hai Family really a military family? They’re weaker than Hou Liang.”
Hou Liang was already having difficulties facing Nan Luo, but he still could hold his ground most of the time. However, his favorited words were ‘the young master and young miss are monster.’
“Commander Hou had already fought at the frontline for so many years, Young Master.” Xiao Yan was speechless.
Even he knew that Hou Liang was much better than the guards in Hai Family residence. After all, Hai Family was not exactly military family and they didn’t train the younger generation to only become a general like Old Master Nan. Their family was more used to use the influence because their family had more daughters than son.
Thanks to that, Hai Family did have a lot of in laws who came to pay their respect when they heard that Empress Dowager Hai had passed away.
And it was also why the blood smell so thick right now.
“Ao Kuai!”
Bang!
A body flew and Nan Luo glanced to the side. He could see a deep crack on the wall as he looked at Si Kang, who had just kicked the man away. Because Feng Ao Kuai mostly specialized in archery, Si Kang was the one who was tasked to protect him from close range attacks.
“What are you doing here?” Feng Ao Kuai asked impassively. His hand was holding onto his bow and arrow.
Nan Luo was speechless. “I’m just worried about you.”
“Let’s get out of this residence first.” Feng Ao Kuai signaled for Si Kang to finish the rest of the uninvited guests. “This night might not be that peaceful.”
“I have just finished eating and now I have strenuous exercise. I hope that my stomach can withstand this change.”
“You won’t have indigestion.”
Nan Hua ignored their conversation as her eyes landed towards the main hall. “Young Master, I’ll find His Highness.”
“Yes?”
“What…?”
The others were stunned.
…
In the other place.
Prince Yang Lu had woken up from his nap when it was late at night. He could faintly sense the faint smell of blood coming from outside. His eyes opened almost immediately.
“Fei Xin.”
“Your Highness?” Mu Fei Xin replied softly and slowly moved away from her husband. Taking her robe, she quickly worn it again once more while watching Prince Yang Lu also prepared himself.
“Would you help me, Fei Xin?” Prince Yang Lu asked once more.
Even though they couldn’t see anything from inside, Mu Fei Xin could guess what happened outside. She had already had an inkling from the moment she saw that there were a lot of people who were following Hai Family. However, she tried her best to push that thought to the back of her mind.
Thus, she hadn’t said anything so far.
Mu Fei Xin smiled faintly. “I would prefer you to pick the saver route, but no matter what decision you make, I’ll follow you, Your Highness.”
From the very moment she married Prince Yang Lu, Mu Fei Xin knew that it would be impossible for her to stay away from him in this lifetime. Because of that, she knew that no matter what happened, she had to support her husband.
Prince Yang Lu nodded and walked towards the door. For some reason, Mu Fei Xin felt that he muttered, ‘thank you’ but his words were unclear.
Bang!
“Your Highness!”
Several people knelt down right in front of the door. They were delighted when they saw Prince Yang Lu, but they kept to the rules and knelt down properly on the ground, expressing their stance.
Prince Yang Lu glanced around and nodded his head. “Take complete control of the city within the night. When morning come, we’ll depart and take care of other cities.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
With Prince Yang Lu’s order, the soldiers were more energized. They believed that they would be able to do anything and win the battle easily.
Behind them, Mu Fei Xin walked in unhurried steps. Her expression was serene yet it was also calm. She had no intention of getting involved when she didn’t have any martial arts skill. But at the very least, she would show her stance by staying near her husband.
Thunk!
Amidst the heavy smell of blood, Prince Yang Lu arrived before the main hall. He noticed that there were a lot of other officials who originally only came here because of their relationship with Hai Family now bowed down.
It was clear that they accepted the stance.
Whether they did it willingly or because they were coerced to do so was still unknown.
Prince Yang Lu didn’t pay any attention to them and turned his head to the main hall. “Open the door.”
